Collector is Duty Bound to Acquire Land Required by any Intending Agency in terms of Land Acquisition Laws, Can’t Avoid the Process For Any Default by Intending Department: J&K&L High Court

The J&K&L HC holds that under the Land Acquisition Laws, the Collector is the statutory authority having competence to acquire the property required by any indenting department. The Court while directing the SDM/Collector Land Acquisition to proceed in accordance with law and pass an award granting compensation to the Petitioner, observed that the Collector cannot shirk from his statutory obligations, merely by saying that the indenting agency had not responded to his/her communication, as the process can be enforced by such an authority in terms of the procedural laws.
